Short Speech on Patriotism in English

A wonderful morning to all of you. Today on this special occasion, I am highly honoured to present my speech on Patriotism.

Patriotism means to passionately love one’s country. It means keeping the country’s interest first and then thinking about oneself. A true patriot is always ready to sacrifice anything for his or her own country.

Our motherland is India and it has given birth to many great leaders in the past including Mahatma Gandhi, Hazrat Mahal, Rabindranath Tagore, Bal Gangadhar tilak, Rani Lakshmibai, Maulana Azad, etc. They played an important role during the freedom struggle and many have sacrificed their lives for our motherland.

Patriotism is not restricted to being a freedom fighter or serve in an army. Patriotism means serving your country and working for its progress in other ways too. For example, helping the poor or working to eradicate illiteracy from the country.

Patriotism is important for the peace and harmony of the country. It is important to have a spirit of brotherhood in order to support each other. It helps in maintaining harmony in the country and keep away selfish motives of corruption from the country.

I am very lucky to be born in a country like India where people from diverse groups live together with a feeling of patriotism. Our country has such a glorious past and it was not possible without patriotism. It was patriotism which led to the growth, development, and progress of our country.

Lastly, I would like you all to stand up in the honour of our national flag and repeat after me- “ Jai Hind”, “ Jai Hind”, Jai Hind”!
